Taste attributes: musicalhistoricaldramapoliticalwartried & testedheavylinearglossybig & variedemotive & stirringhuman spirit/resilience/survivalinjustice/tragedy/vengeancesocial commentary
Boublil and Schönberg's sung-through epic of revolution and redemption in 19th-century France, still the West End's great tear-jerker.
Boxlist takeExpect a moving, wide-ranging musical, heavy rather than light. Best if you like spectacle over intimacy.
